Design and kit details included below the cut
Design Details
Ancient Nova Design (1,500 years pre-canon, 500 years post Archon War)
(art source)
Amnesia Nova Design (attire in the present before her memories are restored)
Notes
All gold accents actually silver
Navy gloves
The top half of her shirt/coat resembles Lynetteâs collar/sleeves more closely in design, perhaps with her Vision situated at her neck instead, and no boob window for my own comfort and preference lol
Back of dress/corset is the brown ruffles, follows similar color scheme to the rest of the dress (navy/indigo) and maybe even some starlight accents throughout layers
Definitely starlight accents on any silver trim, like itâs overtly sparkly and kind of glows
In an official reference sheâll probably have random bows and frill thrown in here and there throughout the design as embellishments because I can never have enough
Restored Nova Design
Notes
Actual Fontaine Vision at neck, pseudo representative Geo Vision on chest
Outfit made for her by Zhongli as a gift after her memories returned and they reunited T-T

Kit Details
Talents (may add proper titles for all aspects eventually but theyâre not imperative at the moment)
Normal Attack: strikes with the power of Hydro in a fashion very similar to Mona with some extra cat traits sprinkled in, 5 consecutive attacks.
Charged Attack:Â Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to deal AoE Hydro DMG after a short casting time, takes the form of Nova summoning a horde of Celestial Familiars (these art examples tend to be how I imagine them: link | link | link | link) to strike a single target at once, dealing incidental dmg to enemies in their path as they lunge forward.
Plunging Attack:Â Nova imbues herself with the power of Hydro, taking the form of a falling star as she plunges towards the ground, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Hydro DMG upon impact with a shower of sparks, leaving a superficial crater overlay that quickly fades.
Astral Pulse (Elemental Skill):Â Nova sends out Celestial Familiars (design referenced in Charged Attack info) formed from Hydro that each run up and pounce on their target in a unique way, dealing Hydro dmg and exploding in a splash upon impact; marks nearby enemies and allies with a Pulse Paw, heals (allies) and deals dmg in an AoE (enemies) at set intervals based on her max HP.
Fount of Stars (Elemental Burst):Â Nova summons a shimmering rain of falling stars in a set AoE, provides full heal to all allies standing within the AoE and applies Hydro to all within it as well, dealing dmg to enemies.
Abilities and skills scale on HP.
Her ascension stat is healing bonus.
First Ascension Passive (Passive Talent 1):Â Increases Novaâs healing bonus by 20% of her max HP.
Fourth Ascension Passive (Passive Talent 2):Â Every ally marked by a Pulse Paw becomes a satellite healer for nearby allies for 15% of Novaâs HP for the duration.
Exploration Talent (Passive Talent 3): Displays the location of nearby resources unique to both Fontaine and Liyue on the mini map.
Constellations (Stella Nova - New Star, probably mimics the form of a Celestial Familiar too)
First Life: Innocence (Constellation 1): Reduces the elemental resistance of enemies marked by a Pulse Paw by 20%.Â
Second Life: Transformation (Constellation 2):Â When activating Fount of Stars the skill will create an additional ripple upon casting that deals Hydro dmg based on 25% of Novaâs max HP.
Third Life: Trials (Constellation 3): Increases the Level of Astral Pulse by 3.Â
Fourth Life: Void (Constellation 4): Increases Fount of Stars AoE by 20% and extends the duration of Astral Pulse by 5s.
Fifth Life: Determination (Constellation 5): Increases the Level of Fount of Stars by 3.Â
Sixth Life: Homecoming (Constellation 6): When Nova takes lethal dmg, this instance of dmg will not down her. (The effect this passive takes is of a Geo seal that flashes around her body pulsing out from the center in a way that mimics Zhongliâs elemental skill, not Hydro because its Zhongliâs seal of protection.) This effect will automatically trigger when her HP reaches 1 and can trigger once every 60s. Also: even when in the party and not on field, Nova can auto revive a fallen teammate to 100% HP once every 10 minutes.
Miscellaneous Details
Adeptus Title: Starweaver
Adeptus Form: a black panther with a pelt imbued with starlight; a fluffy black cat with a pelt imbued with starlight
Summon Screen Splash Art: Nova in her Restored Attire frolicking in starlight with a lunar backdrop and three or four Celestial Familiars playing around her feet, as well as one batting at her tail.
Signature Recipe: Cosmic Kitty Crepe (variation of inevitable crepe recipe weâre sure to get in Fontaine)
Signature Weapon (Best in Slot): Adeptal Astrolabe, a device Cloud Retainer made for Nova as a gift to celebrate her Adeptal ascension
âA complex device meticulously designed and crafted by Cloud Retainer as a gift for a fledgling Adeptus. It gleams with the radiance of the moon reflected on the mountains in the still serenity of night. Flecks of Cor Lapis dance a dazzling display within the contraptionâs sterling glow.â
